Chorus:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/cher/gypsies_tramps_and_thieves_crd.html ]Fmaj7CFmaj7C
Gypsies, tramps and thieves
Fmaj7CFmaj7C
We'd hear it from the people of the town, they'd call us
Fmaj7CFmaj7C
Gypsies, tramps and thieves
AmGF
But every night all the men would come around
[1,3: Am 2: DmCDmC; to bridge]
And lay their money down
Verse 2:
Picked up a boy this side of Mobile
Gave him a ride, fed him with a hot meal
I was 16, he was 21
Rode with us to Memphis
And Papa would have shot him if he knew what he'd done
[chorus]
Bridge:
DmCDmC
Never had schoolin' but he taught me well
DmCDmC
With his smooth Southern style
DmCDmC
Three months later I'm a gal in trouble
DmCFmaj7
And I haven't seen him for a while
Cmaj7Fmaj7
I haven't seen him for a while
Verse 3:
She was born in the wagon of a traveling show
Her mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good
